(Reuters) - Belgium midfielder Dries Mertens has turned to his Napoli teammate, former Spanish World Cup winner Pepe Reina, for advice on how best to try and win this year’s tournament in Russia.

But although Reina could not pinpoint specific tips for success, Mertens said Belgium must show the hunger and desire that Spain did in winning the World Cup in 2010, as well as back-to-back European Championships in 2008 and 2012.
